Screenwash/headlamp wash 
level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp 
washers, when the fluid reservoir low level 
is reached this warning lamp comes on in 
the instrument panel, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message.
Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
Switching on
Briefly push the control stalk downwards.
A wiping cycle confirms that the 
instruction has been accepted.
th
is warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and a message is 
displayed.
Briefly push the control stalk 
downwards again, or place 
the
  control stalk in another 
position
  (Int, 1 or 2).
th
is warning lamp goes off in the 
instrument panel and a message is 
displayed.Switching off
the automatic rain sensitive windscreen 
wipers must be reactivated by pushing 
the control stalk downwards, if the 
ignition has been off for more than 
one
 
minute.
th
e warning lamp comes on when the ignition 
is switched on, or every time the stalk is 
operated, until the reservoir is refilled.
Next time you stop, refill the screenwash / 
headlamp wash reservoir.
th
e windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, if rain is 
detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with 
the sunshine sensor and located in the 
centre of the windscreen behind the rear 
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive 
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the 
windscreen is completely clear of ice 
before activating the automatic rain 
sensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain 
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in 
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by P
e

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to 
the axle and the nose weight approaches 
the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus 
reducing engine performance. Above 
1  000   metres, the maximum towed load must 
be reduced by 10
  % for every 1   000 metres of 
altitude.
Side wind
F  take into account the increased sensitivity  to side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the 
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling 
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
  t
o l
 ower the engine speed, reduce your 
speed.
th
e maximum towed load on a long incline 
depends on the gradient and the ambient 
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature.
F
 
I
 f the warning lamp and the 
STOP  warning lamp come on, 
stop the vehicle and switch off 
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.to a void overheating of the brakes, the use of 
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing  vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam 
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer 
to the corresponding section.
th
e rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine P

System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of 
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics 
system,  windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,   courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum 
combined duration of about forty minutes.
energy economy mode
Switching to economy 
mode
A message appears in the instrument panel 
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched 
to economy mode and the active functions are 
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it 
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with 
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio 
system.
Exiting economy mode
these functions are reactivated automatically 
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions 
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-
 
f
 or less than ten minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
 
f
 or more than ten minutes, to use the 
equipment for up to approximately thirty 
minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to 
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the 
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates 
certain functions, such as the air conditioning, 
the heated rear screen...
th
e deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Coolant level
the coolant level should be close 
to the "MA X" mark but should never 
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, 
wait at least one hour after switching off the 
engine before carrying out any work.
to a
void any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap 
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When 
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and 
top-up the level.
It is normal to top-up the coolant 
level between services (or coolant 
replacements).
Fluid specification
the coolant must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations. The cooling fan may star t after switching 
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and 
clothing that might be caught by the fan 
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of 
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, 
this fluid must not be topped-up with or 
replaced with plain water.

headlamp washers, the low fluid level 
is indicated by an audible signal and

health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), the presence 
of misting on the internal sur face of the 
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps 
is normal; it disappears after the lamps 
have been on for a few minutes.th
